Adrenal Fatigue: When to Eat

In our busy lives, many choose to skip breakfast stating that they are not hungry.  However, this creates  a scenario where your body plays catch-up the rest of the day.  It is important for everyone to eat before 10:00 AM, but especially those with low adrenal function.  Ten o' clock is when your stored blood sugar supply after the night's fast will generally run out. Not eating will stress your adrenal gland further, pushing you into greater adrenal fatigue.  Even a small snack is helpful if that is all you can manage.  Eating regularly (every 3 hours), will help your body keep blood sugars constant throughout the day without overworking your adrenal gland.
